School Council

The School Council, in serving as representatives of our larger community, seeks to enrich and enhance opportunities for teaching and learning that result in improved learning outcomes for students. We strive to improve the supports available to teachers, students, and their families as we work together to better meet the needs of all our learners.

About School CouncilAs outlined in the Education Reform Act of 1993, the School Council is comprised of representatives from the parent body, the school staff, and the community at large. Elections are held to ensure that all parents and staff have a full opportunity for representation. The council has specific responsibilities that include, but are not limited to, examining the following topics:

Class size and impact on student achievement

School budget

School climate, safety, and discipline

Enhancement of parental involvement

will identify areas of concern, establish explicit goals, state
objectives, name persons charged with various responsibilities, and
determine a timeline for measurable outcomes. In determining areas for
improvement, the School Council takes guidance from the following
